545travel.com is what I use to keep track of our family travel. I’m not someone who quit my job to travel the world, I’m just a dad who enjoys taking vacations with my family whenever I can. If you are looking for ideas, check out a list of our travel itineraries and hopefully it can help.
I’ve been to all 50 states and now I hope to get my kids the same experience. Therefore, a lot of this content focused mainly on family travel in the United States and the National Parks. For any questions or site corrections, please contact us.
Family Travel
The focus of this site is family travel in the United States. Also, I listed the regions the same way as the National Park Passport book, which are shown on the map. However, I have split out Alaska and Hawaii into their own sections and included Washington D.C. with the Mid-Atlantic region for ease of planning.
Also, if you don’t have a passport book, you can pick them up at most NPS sites and it is a fun way to document your travel. Additionally, if you are visiting multiple national parks, monument and historic sites, it probably makes sense to buy an annual America the Beautiful pass.
